I tried to start the new .39 alpha version, and suddenly the game announced that it was unable to find MSVCP120.dll. so I looked around (not my first .dll install) and installed the .dll file it asked for, rebooted my pc, and it still cannot find the file.

didn't fix the problem. I'd already installed the 2013 version, but after installingthe 2012 version and rebooting it still can'tfind the file. I did notice that it asks for MSVCP120.dll in capitals, while all the nice msvcp120.dll files in my windows x32 and x64 directories are lower case, could this be related?

all the previous versions worked fine, dunno if something changed?

EDIT: tried it out a little more with some help, so far I'm at 2 computers (mine and a friends) and my laptop have all been unable to run with this error. and at least the two computers are up to date gaming platforms, so this looks to me like something a bit more systematic.
